Gray Beard, you're right on the money- I could get a lipo-powered starter, but the thing would cost me double what this entire set off of ebay costs. Here is Switzerland, what you guys get for x dollars we get for 3x dollars- and with a much more limited choice. Searching for stuff you need when you have only one medium-sized local hobby store becomes an art. I am trule jealous of US guys because of this- you have everything!

P.S. Just how dangerous are lead acid batteries and what precautions should I take? I've done a fair bit of environmental chesmitry for exams recently, and it had scary stuff about lead and its health effects- going from stomach burns to cancer.<br type="_moz" />
